A spokesman for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue said: "Due to the bad weather conditions and heavy snowfall, Devon Fire Control received a request from ambulance control for assistance in getting through to a pregnant lady expecting twins who had gone into labour.

"As the babies could not wait the expectant mother was transported to Okehampton Hospital in the fire appliance.

"Mother and twin baby girls are all doing well."

It is not yet known if the mother and her newborn children will return home in similar style.
